Official reveal that upcoming narrative horror game Still Wakes the Deep will feature support for the historic Scottish Gaelic language. Still Wakes the Deep will launch on 18 June 2024 for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5. It will also be available with Game Pass for console and PC. Pre-orders for the physical PS5 release are available now from all good retailers.
Players will be able to experience the haunting story of Still Wakes the Deep, featuring a wealth of Scottish actors such as Alec Newman, Neve McIntosh, and Karen Dunbar, with full Scottish Gaelic subtitles. Translations will also be seen in menus, tooltips, and text boxouts for certain interactable items.
Scottish Gaelic is an endangered language, with 2.5% of Scotland's population reporting some Gaelic-language skills in the 2022 Census, though knowledge of the language has increased in recent years. Presented with a unique and appropriate opportunity to spread the language further, The Chinese Room took the chance to include the language which is seldom seen in video games. This goes hand in hand with its focus on authenticity, which saw the team digging through archival footage of oil rigs in the 1970s and interviewing oil rig workers to craft the most realistic world possible.
The song "Fath Mo Mhulaid A Bhith Ann (Being Here Has Caused My Sorrow)", performed by Maggie MacInnes, will be heard in Scottish Gaelic in the game's soundtrack. Fans can hear the song in the recent Still Wakes the Deep launch trailer.
Still Wakes the Deep supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Scottish Gaelic for its interface and subtitles. English subtitles are available with literal transcription and Received Pronunciation adaptation options.
About Still Wakes the Deep
Still Wakes the Deep is a return to the first-person narrative horror genre from The Chinese Room, creator of critically acclaimed games such as Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, and Dear Esther.
You are an offshore oil rig worker, fighting for your life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. All that remains is to face the unknowable horror that’s come aboard.
